Best Game Openings...

[FolkLikePanda]

RESIDENT EVIL ORIGINAL ON PS1, that's all I'm saying...
PS: What's yours?

 

[DuplicateValue]

I'm gonna say the D-Day sequence in Medal of Honour: Frontline.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Beyond good and evil.

I don't actually remember it, although I'm sure it was absolutely fucking awesome.

Serious answer: I don't actually know, although I'll edit it if I think of something.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I loved the beginning of Mass Effect 2, but I can't really say that because as soon as I finished I thought, 'this is a less droidy version of KoToR II.'

I suppose also Halo 1 and 3 impressed me, Tomb Raider Underworld made me stop and go 'wut?'

So there you go.

 

[comadorcrack]

hmmmm...

I think the uncharted 2 opening was very good. Drew me into the experience very quickly

 

[Chunklin]

Call of Duty one, landing at Stalingrad.

It was just so.... fucking epic.

 

[Sassafrass]

I'm gonna say the D-Day sequence in Medal of Honour: Frontline.

This one, along with Medal Of Honour: Rising Sun's opening.
FF X's opening as well. Well, from the start of the Blitzball scene onwards anyway.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Katamari Damacy. Very unusual, but very catchy.

 

[cheese_wizington]

COD 4 MW's Attack on the cargo ship.

ON YOUR FEET SOLDIER, WE. ARE. LEAVING!

 

[Babrook]

Halo 2's opening is pretty great. There was a real sense of urgency there.

 

[Stryc9]

The first Red Alert, it has Einstein going back in time and eliminating Hitler followed by awesome music and displays of cool military hardware.

 

[Rafe]

Beautiful Katamari; the funniest, most bizarre intro ever.

 

[jubosu]

DONKEY KONG 64 the rap

yes i just went there

 

[RedDeadFred]

Portal. I've never been that amazed by a new and original game mechanic like the portal gun in any other game.

 

[Jaranja]

I'm gonna say the D-Day sequence in Medal of Honour: Frontline.

This one, along with Medal Of Honour: Rising Sun's opening.
FF X's opening as well. Well, from the start of the Blitzball scene onwards anyway.

Yeah, that part with the whole bit where you run up to fans and go "gee, I, um, play blitzball" was completely unneeded. The opening scene was badass though. Doing a flip and suddenly seeing some massive Cloverfield ************ beating up your city... Or was it just a big wave? I can't remember.

[ItsAChiaotzu]

Kingdom Hearts 2, I love that intro, mainly because of Utada Hikaru.

 

[Axolotl]

Half-Life.
Perfect opening sequence it just sets the tone of the game flawlessly.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Bioshock, without question. Sets the tone of the things to come perfectly.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Blades of Steel.
